TEHRAN (Honaronline) -- A collection of drawings by the celebrated Iranian Poet Sohrab Sepehri will be on view in the four-day exhibition opening at the 4th Bon-gah Art Book Fair.
Initiated in 2018, Bon-gah Art Book Fair is an annual event of artists’ publications and exhibitions. With a commitment to diversity and representation, the fair serves as a meeting place for an extended community of publishers, artists and book enthusiasts, as well as a site for dialogue and exchange around all facets of art publishing. The fair also hosts a diverse range of talks, discussions, exhibitions and workshops.
Born in 1928, Sepehri is known for his pure style of blank verse in what is known as Sher-e No (Modern Poetry) in Iran.
As a talented artist and a gifted poet, Sepehri came to prominence with the publication of his collection ‘The Water’s Footfall’ in 1965.
His works have been translated into English, French, Italian and Spanish languages.
His paintings have been the most expensive works sold at the Tehran Auction over the past few years.
The event will be held from December 28 to 31.
